I often get static in the left ear bud during zoom meetings. I comes and goes.
Is there anything that can eliminate the static sound?
Hi jerry3240,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. Are you using the EarPods that came with your iPhone or AirPods? If you are using the EarPods that came with your iPhone, we'd recommend the steps in the related article, Apple earbuds and static electricity - Apple Support. This may be due to static as mentioned.
When you use earbuds in areas where the air is very dry, they can build up static electricity. Your ears might receive a small electrostatic discharge from the earbuds. If you receive a static shock from your earbuds, this doesn't mean that there's an issue with your device or the earbuds.
If you're referring to AirPods, try these steps from If your AirPods Pro (1st generation) make crackling or static sounds - Apple Support.
1. Make sure that you have the latest software on your connected iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.
2. Check that your connected device is nearby, and there's no wireless interference or obstructions between you and your device.
3. Listen to audio from a different app to see if the app causes the issue.
If you still experience sound quality issues—or if the issues increase in loud environments, with exercise, or while talking on the phone—refer to AirPods Pro Service Program for Sound Issues.
Kind regards.
